The Crossley Heath School
Enrichment
As well as their superb academic achievements we want our Sixth Formers to be able to demonstrate a host of other skills and experiences to universities or employers, helping them to stand out from the crowd. Our Enrichment Programme and super-curricular activities are designed to help students think more closely about how they can successfully market themselves when they are applying for university, apprenticeships or employment. At the end of their time with us we want our students to have CVs and applications jam packed with experiences, character development and achievements beyond their subject grades.
Additional qualifications available include:
· Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) (1yr)
